If attempting to fix any problems with an oil boiler/burner, be mindful that it uses mains voltage electricity and flammable liquid. LBD therefore recommends you not attempt to interfere with your heating appliance components unless experienced in the area of expertise.

1. Have you sufficient oil – minimum of two inches of oil is needed.

2. Did you run out of oil and get a recent refill. You may have an ‘air-lock’. In some cases the oil delivery lorry driver may have experience in releasing airlocks. If not, a callout is recommended as adjustment of the incorrect components of an oil burner’s settings is often dangerous.
